October 21st, 2015 – The occasion is the 15th edition of the Week of the Italian Language in the World – (October 19-24) – an event promoted by the Italian Cultural Institutes and the diplomatic network of the Foreign Affairs Ministry. Organized every year in the third week of October, the Week revolves around a theme that serves as a common thread for conferences, exhibitions and shows, meetings with writers and personalities. This year, the Italian Cultural Institute of Buenos Aires promotes the presentation of the “Dictionary of Collocations” by Professor Paola Tiberii. The event “The right words for your ideas” – organized in collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy in Buenos Aires and the Italian Institutes of Culture of Latin America – is scheduled for today at 6:30pm at the headquarters of the Italian Cultural Institute in the Argentine capital. Mainly aimed at linguists and teachers of Italian as a second language, but also open to all those who are interested in learning the proper use of the Italian language, the Dictionary of Collocations is an innovative text that looks at words according to their combinations and not for their meaning. The term ‘collocation’ in linguistics shows the combinations of words used in the written and spoken language. (Gil)
